“John F. Schuessler is a founding member of the Mutual UFO Network, Inc., [and is currently the MUFON International Director – OUT OF DATE] and a member of the Board of Directors. As a staff member he has written numerous articles for SKYLOOK and the MUFON UFO Journal and has been a featured speaker as many MUFON symposia. He is a member of the UFO Research Coalition Board of Directors and a member of the Science Advisory Board for the National Institute for Discovery Science. He is a full member of the Society for Scientific Exploration and an associate of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies. He was a founding member and past President of the UFO Study Group of Greater St. Louis, as well at the Houston-based Vehicle Internal Systems Investigative Team. He first became active in UFO research in 1965 when he joined the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization.”   – Coast to Coast AM

 

“MUFON, Inc. was originally established as the Midwest UFO Network on May 31, 1969, in Quincy, Illinois, by Allen R. Utke, Walter H. Andrus, Jr., John F. Schuessler, and others.”

Project VISIT: Vehicle Internal Systems Investigative Team

  • Government UFO cover ups discredit and hide information from the public about sightings by astronauts to the average joe.By Futurism Staff, Published 2016

“Although officially the government is not interested in investigating UFOs, many scientists believe there is a lot going on in the government concerning UFOs that isn’t being talked about,” says John Schuessler of the McDonnell Douglas Corporation. He is also president of Project VISIT (Vehicle Internal Systems Investigative Team), a group of 12 scientists studying incidents in which people report “encounters of the third kind” with occupants of UFOs. “I agree that our national security may prevent the government from releasing information about some UFO incidents.”

VISIT’s impressive team of volunteers, about half of whom are associated with NASA, represents a variety of specialties. A case submitted to VISIT is first screened for validity, individuals involved are interviewed, and their medical records examined. So far the group has looked into 70 “abduction” cases. Not all of them have been “solved” by earthly explanations.

“Skeptic has become a dirty word, but let me say I’m a scientist, and as such I’m interested only in facts,” says Schuessler. Without making any generalizations about the possibility of UFOs’ having picked up human beings for study, he admits: “All I can say is that something is going on. There’s a mystery here.”  . . . 

Some of VISIT’s cases get even more interesting. Like the three Kentucky women—all of them friends from conservative, stable backgrounds—who claimed they were abducted by a UFO and subjected to painful physical examinations by humanoid creatures.

“These women didn’t just start telling their story,” says Schuessler. “They knew something had happened because there were three hours missing in their lives. Only after prolonged hypnosis were they able to recall what happened.” The memories were obviously terrifying too. All three women thereafter showed personality changes and suffered severe medical and psychological problems. One died of a stroke; another has had three heart attacks and expects to die soon. The third is in a deeply depressed state in which all her normal functions and systems seem to be shutting down.

“…addresses the question of whether McDonnell Douglas as a company, did in fact continue its UFO work?

“Belmont. Thursday 5 January 1978

“…Yesterday I received a phone call from a fellow who works with McDonnell-Douglas Astronautics. He told me that, “on a private basis,” he was compiling a new close encounter database. I am not stupid enough to believe his company has no corporate interest in the matter. They have an on-going secret project, well-funded, with the blessing and official monitoring of the CIA and they’re discreetly connected with major UFO groups, all of which love the secret intrigue of a link to the spooks…”

On page 440 of FSV2 there is also the following:

15 October 1978.

“McDonnell Douglas is continuing their quiet but well-funded study with John Schuessler also monitored by the Agency. They seem to be looking for exotic alloys.”

 . . .

“The idea that you could gain insights into the processes by which UAP move, seems to have also been a driving force behind Project VISIT. In 1976, NASA scientist John F. Schuessler, formed a group called Project VISIT short for Vehicle Internal Systems Investigative Team. One aim was to look at the internal systems of what Project VISIT called Unidentified Space Vehicles.”

 . . .

“15 October 1978. “A great deal of activity, if not research, is indeed going on about UFOs among government organizations. Kit has a friend in Houston who is close to Poher, and I’ve heard that Saunders was looking for correlations among the UFO data by plotting the sighting on a Forbidden sidereal time scale. Saunders works at Mathematica, a major computer contractor for the CIA. McDonnell-Douglas is continuing their quiet but well-funded study with John Schuessler, also monitored by the Agency. They seem to be looking for exotic alloys. Who is kidding? Why is the scientific community kept in the dark about these projects? Why all the secrecy? Where do the research results go? And what about the secret work in France?”

“12 December 1978. “In Houston John Schuessler heads up McDonnell’s operations at the Johnson spacecraft center, while another researcher, Dr. Richard Niemtzow, is doing cancer research in Galveston, one of the leading centers in the U.S. Both believe there are Alien bodies around, based on the elusive autopsy reports circulated by Len Stringfield.”
